Sorry, I thought this was more well known. It was a hit record by a major rock group. But it has been almost a dozen years now. And it was released after they had peaked in the mid-eighties.
FREE POST.
I see now from wikipedia that this single peaked at #80 on the Billboard Hot 100. Oh well, I think it's the best track on the album. C'est la vie!
I remember a newspaper cartoon (Arlo and Janis) when George Harrison died. Arlo was looking into the distance, sighing, "He was my favorite Traveling Wilbury."
Personally, I liked the Traveling W.'s. It appealed to me that they didn't take themselves very seriously. Just a group of guys having some fun doing what they enjoyed. It's unfortunate their body of work was abbreviated so suddenly by fate's fickle nature.

It was played on album oriented stations so that counts. I remember it I just can't think of the song right now

Don't know the title but then I never did like the stones to much. unless it was covered by Flying Burrito brothers also which would make it dead flowers but I think that's another song.

Never would have guessed that was a STYX song.
Well it's all right, riding around in the breeze
Well it's all right, if you live the life you please
Well it's all right, doing the best you can
Well it's all right, as long as you lend a hand

I suspect there's almost no Traveling Wilburys fans here.
Me, I'm a fan of Boo, Muddy, Otis, Charlie T Jr, etc.
*snicker*
This was the opening of "End of the Line."
I forget if that was off the first album (Volume One) or the second (Volume Three.)
BTW, some of us have Javascript turned OFF for any of a number of reasons.
(Security, office firewall...)
So, when you give the answer as a link or hotlink to a video,
we see a blank space, or some abstract symbol.
That means we have no idea what you were trying to say.
So, how about actually writing out the name below the link,
in the post, somewhere?
If someone's logging in from a mobile device and they pay for bandwidth,
they have to use up rationed bandwidth to get an answer you could have
typed just as fast....

When I worked for Dow, I had the same problem. I know that I have, on occasion, made the same request. If you post a video, at least give the title!

The Wilburys are worth a listen.
You'd listen, probably, if you didn't know them as Jethro, Muddy, Boo, etc
but as Bob Dylan, George Harrison, Tom Petty, Roy Orbison, and Jeff Lynne (ELO).

side note:
For any of you with Sirius XM.
Both Dylan and Petty take on D.J. duties to host their own shows on Deep Tracks/Channel 27.
Peter Frampton has a show , as well, but, of course, he was never a TW.

Petty's show is great.

Let's get this train back on the track.
WordWolf's up. (I assume he was correct about "End of the Line.")

I've heard at least one claim of people who've been listening to newer stuff.
So, something from 2007-2008.
"This song was in my head, now it's in my mind, call it reach it get some words and get some timing.
And though I realize, I cannot emphasize, I'll stick around but just don't promise, nothing binding.
And baby can't you see, that you're so desperately, a standing joker like a vocal one-liner.
Instead of sing-a-long, this song is monotone, I've gotta get some soul I gotta get some feeling."

Sounds like rap music, of which I don't think I know any of them.

I don't think I know any of them either.
On the other hand, I know this song...

We can count out Eminem then, he didn't have any music those years.

I'll be honest with you. I'm not likely to get ANYTHING (rock or country) post-2000.

We can also count him out because I indicated it wasn't rap...

"I never say anything at all,
But with nothing to consider they forget my name (name, name, name)
They call me hell
They call me Stacey
They call me her
They call me Jane."
"They call me quiet
But I'm a riot
Mary-Jo-Lisa
Always the same"
"Are you calling me 'Darling'?
Are you calling me 'Bird'?"
If anyone knows the song, they'll get it now. Otherwise, I'll switch songs because
nobody here knows it.

No I know this one WordWolf. Very catchy tune That's not my name by the ting tings.
I think I would have got it just from the next line you put up.
My brother sit me right down and he talked to me
He told me that I ought not to let you just walk on me
And I'm sure he meant well
Yeah, but when our talk was through
I said, brother, if you only knew
You'd wish that you were in my shoes
